Well from what i have seen i agree - compared to elsewhere, i was more taking issue with the BBC's reporting of it.
What can we expect from Copenhagen?

The clip seemed fair. It said the protest was peaceful, and was suddenly declared illegal.
So far, it looks like the reading of the riot act was absurd, but the enforcement of the riot act was reasonable.

Well i disagree. So there.
Oh and then therer's this just posted
In that clip, a crowd shouts "5-4-3-2-1-GO!" and charge into a police line. Use of billy clubs follows. Not nice, but what you expect if a crowd imitate the opening of Thunderbirds. The cops look in control, and constantly pull back, including when a person is lying on the floor.
If this is as bad as it gets, the Danish PD are coming out of this OK.

According to BBC Tv NEWs delegates were trapped in the conference centre under "lock down" because of the protesters. Gordon Brown had been planning lots of meetings in his hotel to progress a deal and he was unable to get to them.
Way to go protesters, deny meetings to the delegates, that is going to get a deal for sure!

As I predicted at the start of the thread, very little.

They could have done a worse job. But only if they'd had access to several tons of depleted uranium, a herd of angry giraffes and Inspector Clouseau.

Looks like they're going to fail to set any effective targets from what I've been reading this morning. Also, it seems like there's a lot of argument over developed nation contributions to a fund to help the worst hit nations, but it's not clear from what I've read whether that fund is the sort of thing Stern was talking about, ie something that pushes the recepient countries further into debt.

On the last day, the parties are still negotiating, saying that it is very difficult to get an agreement, some have suggested it may have to wait until they meet again. China is apparently against monitoring and the less developed couintries still want a temperature limit of less than 2degC which seems to be the level everybody else is aiming at.
